There are times (multiple times if I'm honest with myself) where I fail as a parent. My little girl is just like me and knows exactly how to push my buttons. Naturally a good parent would not react first, but think through a child's behavior, but I on the other hand react first before thinking it through and logically talking out the situation with my daughter. I know I'm not the only parent who faces this struggle of reacting before thinking, but it still makes me feel like a bad parent!
When I get this feeling, after reacting and thinking and apologizing to my daughter and making her apologize to me and talking with her about things, I go to a mommy timeout!
This is where I go to think about how I can improve myself to stop reacting first. To remember my daughter is still learning. To remember she is just like me and that is not bad, but rather adorable and precious that I was granted this beautiful little mini me!
I have to remind myself that even though I failed in this situation that I am not a bad parent. I am still learning as well. I am a great mother! Just like my daughter is an amazing little girl!
This picture reminds me that my family is everything that I want and work hard for and why I work on improving myself so I can be better for them!
